It almost looks like a misprint to see the Bills as the early 10.5-point favorite over Green Bay. What the game means to Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packersįor the first time in his career, Rodgers is staring at a double-digit point spread that’s not in his favor. In some games, he has traveled with the opposition’s best receiver, but against the Bills, he may not because they have both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. ▶ CB Jaire Alexander: He’s the highest-paid cornerback in league history because he’s one of the best one-on-one cover men in the league. ▶ LB DeVondre Campbell: He was in on 12 tackles, three for lost yardage, and also had an interception return for a touchdown in the loss to Washington. ▶ DT Kenny Clark: Now in his seventh season with the Packers, the 315-pounder is still a force in the middle of the line. He leads the team in pressures (25) and sacks (6) and has 20 stops, defined by PFF as a play that constitutes a failure for the offense. ▶ DE Rashan Gary: He has been Green Bay’s best all-around defender with the highest cumulative grade from Pro Football Focus. ▶ TE Robert Tonyan: He’s not in the ballpark of Travis Kelce or George Kittle, but he’s an athletic pass catcher who leads the Packers with 30 receptions which have gone for 251 yards and a TD. He didn’t have much impact against Washington, but for the season he has averaged 18.4 yards on his eight receptions. ▶ WR Sammy Watkins: When Randall Cobb went down last week, Watkins was activated off injured reserve Sunday after he missed four games. ▶ WR Allen Lazard: He has been given the task of trying to replace Adams and to date he has 26 catches for 340 yards and four TDs. However, in the last three games the Packers have managed only 192 yards on the ground. Dillon: He’s the other half of the Packers decent 1-2 running punch as the 247-pound freight train has 301 yards on 77 carries. 1 run defense as the Bills are allowing just 76.2 yards per game. And now he’s going against what is statistically the NFL’s No. ▶ RB Aaron Jones: He’s averaging 5.5 yards per attempt but in the last two games he has 17 carries for 42 yards. His single-game passing yardage high this year is 255 against Tampa Bay and his passer rating is 94.9 which, if the season ended today, would be the third-worst of his career. ▶ QB Aaron Rodgers: Do you think he misses Davante Adams? The Packers simply don’t have enough viable receiving weapons and Rodgers is struggling because of it. Since going 3-1, the Packers have a loss to the Giants in London, a one-sided loss to the Jets at Lambeau Field, and then perhaps worst of all, a seemingly impossible defeat Sunday to Taylor Heinicke and the Commanders in Washington.
